Bloggus intterruptus
I've decided to give blogging another go. I've ummed and aahd, but all in all I still want to do it. I've still got misgivings about it, but it's probaly a useful discipine for me. It won't always be great, but I will give it my best shot.
I've now been in post for a couple of months, and it has been a really positive start. There is so much potential, a lot of great people, and quite a lot of coffee!
For anyone who might be interestd in what I'm up to, my role seems to be panning into 3 main areas;
- schools work - co-ordinating, developing and delivering accross the West End.
- Church work - working with volunteers and young leaders to support, equip and
help make the youth work integrated and sustinable accross the West End.
- 'fresh expressions,' - this is the fuzziest bit! The thinking is that there are likely to be young people who want to explore and develop their faith - but who woud struggle to identify with the expression of Church currently available. It seems that a 'youth church,' has been tried and not worked, so that whole area is one big question mark - but currently all the more interesting for it!!
I'm still very aware of how life used to be - settling into a new place hasn't always been easy, but slowly roots are pushing in, and new bonds are being made.
P.S. if i used to link to you, but the links have disappeared, they will go up again soon - once i remember how to do it!

Good to hear from you again and have you back in the blogdom!
Hi there, Kathryn, great to see you blogging again. It all sounds interesting and stretching. Labouring on without a youth worker here makes me appreciate you even more!! xx
Sixth Form bible study is settling down - lots of breaks for half term and speech day at the moment.
Sarah is invloved with some new expressions stuff with their youth cafes. Sounds interesting.
love
